Agreed, this is ridiculous that we've been hindered by a math bug for months! Rewarding us with skins is an inglorious solution. We have been moderately patient while you released several patches that could have resolved this, the last of which explicitly stated that it did fix it, only to be proven wrong. I would assume that there is some way you could individually tag our files to receive compensation. If I can go to customer support and get 2K credits for a missed level up, you have the means and the mechanisms to correct this issue, now. Even if it's just for the people on the forums here, that would be a small step for the vociferous minority. I would accept 50K credits to shut up and go away. BEFORE the patch drops on Wednesday. I encourage others to bring your best offer as well. What do we have to lose at this point?

Unfortunately, dropping the missing amount without the fix to the crate system is problematic. Never mind logistics of whether some people could get around to spending it on short notice before Wednesday.
If I'm owed 100k and I get that in time to burn it for credits, I'll be out another 50k in duplicates. They'd need to run that reward again, then again after I open those, and so on. The net cost of the crate should be 1000 credits, which equals 2200 minus the 1200 you get back from its duplicates. Any credits awarded now would be at a terrible exchange rate for parts.
They could convert the credits for us. 40 crafting parts for every 1000 credits is about what the math works out to. (It'd be 35 parts a crate but sometimes 50 and sometimes extra credits from duplicate uncommons/rares, and occasionally would get a whole card valued at a few hundred parts, so let's round up to 40.) Or give us both our credits and the bonus parts, as compensation for dealing with this for so long.
Giving us credits we can only spend on new cosmetics is not a solution. The bug has not kept me from getting cosmetics that don't exist yet, it's kept me from getting star cards.

I want to convert credits into crafting parts in order to get some progression boosts after the progression update. But I had to stop because after 50k credits I noticed that my dublicate cards aren't rewarded. Will you fix this bug before the 21st March or will I get them rewarded after the bug?

Yes , @cb042 is exactly correct. Its not just a "onetime" payout issue with the returns on duplicates. And as far as the post from @GamadonE I have this issue with the levels as well. in the collection menu they show one level , for example , my specialist is legit a level 41 in the "collection" screen. However , once I take him into play he becomes a level 82 , insanely high. This is actually the case with all of my characters. Now, what I will say is that if we are getting this change in levels because we arent getting the duplicates than we can only hope that when the conversion to the new progression system comes we get level credit at our "glitch" level as this would in a way partly compensate for our lack of progression, does that make sense ? IF and its a big IF they did that for us in that manner than that would actually be acceptable as we will already be at the max level.... which we would probably be at if we "bought" our way there thru the loot crate system.

Everyone should be angry and be demanding that EA spot everyone at least 250,000 credits before the March 21st update. I know I've lost plenty of credits but not as much as some people on here. The only way this update is not going to burn EA to the ground is if the players affected have been dealt with first or else this update will be all for nothing.

I just posted on the star wars battlefront 2 sub in reddit. Feel free to express your anger there as well so we can get our problem as much exposure as possible.
